The most important part of this year is studying vocabulary; therefore it is very crucial for you to study/review the vocabulary 15 min everyday. Repetition and practice are the keys to success.

Tips for studying Spanish:
1. Study the vocabulary from your flash-cards (like a memory game), play on the textbook website (see the webite link above), read and rewrite the words.
2. You can write the grammar rules (notes from class) onto your flash-cards.
3. Make your own study guide or your pre-test/quiz preparation: use old quizzes and/or tests, homework and worksheets. You can write this study guide in different ways, by using multiple choice, fill in the blank, questions and answers, writing sentences, recording your voice or use the Spanish-English speaking dictionary.
